Amy Schumer is dismissing the gossip that she and Chris Fischer are dunzo in the most Amy way -- a no-BS Instagram post.

Check out the video she shared on her page Monday ... it's a house tour her 6-year-old son Gene filmed with text overlay to address the recent chatter. She immediately brings up her recent ringless IG pics, noting ... "I never wear jewelry."

At another spot on the video, she cheekily adds ... "Whatever ends up happening with Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism … fingers crossed we can make it through … he’s the best."

Bert Kreischer's a diehard Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, and he LOVES Baker Mayfield ... and we now know why.

The uber-popular comedian joined Babcock on the heels of the Bucs' third straight loss, when we asked whether he'd lost faith in his squad.

Kreischer hasn't, saying "I still feel good" ... though it's the why that's notable.

No matter what happens in the ring on Dec. 19, Jake Paul has got some massive balls to take on Anthony Joshua ... so says comedian Bryan Callen, who tells TMZ Sports El Gallo is "borderline crazy!"

We spoke with the comedian at LAX ... and talked all about Paul and Joshua's showdown at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.

Sure, many see Joshua, an Olympic gold medalist and two-time boxing champion, winning by a landslide ... but Callen says you've still got to give Paul credit for even taking on the challenge.

Model and actress Charlotte McKinney got her big break in a 2015 Super Bowl commercial for Carl's Jr., but now she's doing standup comedy ... which she says offers specific obstacles for her to overcome.

TMZ caught up with Charlotte at LAX Tuesday where our photog asked her if comedy is more difficult to pull off for pretty people.

She answered, "It's definitely a bit of a challenge, but I like it."

Shawn Wayans just finished watching the new Eddie Murphy documentary on Netflix ... and he's speculating on what it would look like for Eddie to return to standup comedy.

We caught up with Shaun Tuesday at LAX, where he told us ... "I think he'd have no problem doing it once he commits to doing it. The only difference between him doing it now and him doing it back in the day is he had time to develop his ideas without it being exposed to the world."

Shawn explained that starting out on obscure open mic nights and in small clubs gave Eddie a chance to get his jokes really funny before bringing them before a larger audience to critique. Not like today, where Eddie's fame means any public appearance is captured on a camera phone and aired out on social media.

Mike Epps is headlining the "We Dem Ones" comedy tour for the first time after hosting it for several years -- and he's tasked with dividing stage time among all the comic stars!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Mike at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills late Thursday afternoon ... Chico Bean, DC Young Fly, Karlous Miller, and T.K. Kirkland are just a handful of the heavy-hitters who will be clawing for the spotlight and bringing their own respective fanbases to the 35-city tour starting Feb. 2026.

Mike tells us the solution is simple -- he'll break up the time like a music fest -- tons of acts and plenty of opportunities for the comedians to get their jokes in.

Comedian Deon Cole had the internet debating after he called out Kai Cenat for gleefully knowing Black celebrities when he was hired to stream at this year's BET Awards ... an inevitable part of the game, according to Consequence!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Consequence leaving Prada on Rodeo Drive, Wednesday afternoon, and the veteran rapper tells us he's experienced Kai and his BFF Rakai's cluelessness firsthand when they tried to write off his son, Caiden The Crownholder, as just the "rapping n***a" and not the artist who's burning up TikTok!!!

Deon's words resonated with many ... and Cons, being from the true school and all, gets the issue, but seeing that the wave has switched to streaming and clout-chasing, there's not much anyone can do about it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Eddie Griffin has stories for days about running with both Tupac and Biggie when they were still alive -- and he recently told a couple ... including one which ended with him having to strongarm some of Diddy's merchandise!!!

The tenured comedian was signing autographs following a recent stand-up set in Atlanta when he was asked to travel down memory lane about hanging with the late great rap legends.

Eddie recalls rolling with Pac in the ATL area -- circa the time when the wild block party Freaknik was still a thing -- but it wasn't all fun and games ... Pac was hanging out the window double-fisted with both middle fingers out!!!

Cedric the Entertainer doesn't like all the jokes being made about food stamps over the weekend ... unless they were really good.

We caught up with one of the Original Kings Of Comedy in NYC, where our cameraperson brought up people making jokes about the U.S. government's impending halt to the country's largest anti-hunger program.

Cedric had a more serious response than we were expecting, saying, "No, that's not a joke. There's so many people living with food insecurity in the United States."

A manager at Laugh Factory Chicago was arrested by masked federal agents ... and, the wild encounter with law enforcement was caught on video.

Night manager Nathan Griffin was arrested Friday morning outside the club ... and, the clips shows officers slamming him to the ground while onlookers scream hysterically.

Griffin was ultimately subdued and thrown into the back of a white SUV while people demanded to know where the masked agents were taking Griffin.

Any attempts of Dr. Dre carving out his next big hit in the studio were thwarted ... thanks to comedian Godfrey's spot-on Donald Trump impersonation!!!

Godfrey uploaded a clip of himself in the stu with the legendary hip hop producer, where he channeled the what-if scenario of 47 being in the lab with them.

The veteran comic nailed Trump's dialect while speculating on Dre's "medical status" with racial cluelessness, labeling the Beats By Dre creator as one of his fav Black producers.

"GodTrump" went on to quip on how he was a big fan of his music, especially when Dre was in that group, "NEGROES WITH ATTITUDE!!!"

Dre bellowed with laughter and was forced to address the camera, telling the world he did greenlight the presidential parody ... all the while Godfrey spoofed Trump's patented dance moves.

Before this bubbly baby in his diaper turned into a stand-up comedian and actor, he was just rockin' out by the piano ... bustin' out the dance moves for the breakdancing team, and dreaming of becoming a huge star ...

After working a few odd jobs at the Comedy Store in San Diego, he tried stand-up during 'amateur night.' His comedic skills landed him on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," and he's been interviewed by big stars like Joe Rogan. He co-hosts the "Bad Friends" podcast.

Need one more clue? "And Just Like That" with Sarah Jessica Parker.

Sabrina Carpenter turned "Saturday Night Live" into Saturday Night Lust ... delivering a monologue so cheeky, it probably broke a few FCC rules.

Then came audience interaction time which, in true Sabrina fashion, quickly turned sexual. She flirted with a fan named Will from Maryland saying, "Ooh, what a sexy, unusual place," but bailed when he revealed he works in venture capital. "Okay, never mind,” she said.

The singer didn't waste a second poking fun at her reputation, telling the crowd, "Everyone thinks of me as this, like, horndog pop star. But there's so much more to me. I'm not just horny ... I'm also turned on and sexually charged."

Dylan Sprouse is taking the crown for red carpet one-liner of the year ... cracking a hilarious quip while on the red carpet at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The former Disney star was dressed to the nines in a slick navy-blue suit with a loose collar. Before cameras start flashing, Dylan hikes up his pants -- no belt in sight -- and jokes, "Let me tuck in this FUPA here real quick."

For those unfamiliar ... "FUPA" is as an acronym for Fatty Upper Pubic Area.

Gavin Newsom is becoming the ultimate troll ... the California governor mocked Donald Trump and Bibi Netanyahu as the stars of the comedy film "Dumb and Dumber."

Newsom's press office posted a photo on X of President Trump and the Israeli Prime Minister -- clutching hands during their historic announcement to Israel's Knesset on Monday, championing a long-awaited peace deal between Israel and Hamas.

The rival factions have agreed to end a two-year war that has left the Gaza Strip in shambles, with scores dead. As part of the deal, Hamas released the 20 remaining Israeli hostages and Israel released nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
